Man. I can't believe how busy I've been lately. Working four days straight, three closings, papers and two books and a class presentation and blah blah blah. But it is Saturday night, and even though I got off of work hours ago I am here with you fine people. I LEAD A LIFE OF PRECARIOUS ADVENTURE.
I have never done this before! But now's as good a time as any, y/y?
SPN friending memes ftw, let me tell you.
So, hi! I'm Sarah, 19, less than two months out from turning 20, and yeah, that's kinda freaking me out a little. Born, raised, and still living in west central Florida and I'm pretty much ready to blow this popsicle stand. Because I've grown up here I have a certain affinity for the beaches and the area and whatnot, but I am so, so ready for colder weather and snow and mountains. I'm looking into Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, because I've been there, and it's pretty damn amazing.
As of now, attending the University of South Florida, double majoring in Literature and Creative Writing, minoring in History. I love school, and I've always been a bit of an overachiever (I was salutatorian, weee!), so being smack in the middle of my sophomore year of college is stressful in the awesomest of ways. Please, for the love of God, don't ask me what I plan on doing with my degree, because I have no bloody idea. And that's fine with me. And no, I'm not going to teach, thank you very much. What is it with people thinking that majoring in English means you're an automatic shoe-in for becoming a teacher? Not only no, but hell no. Geh.
I'm a barista at Starbucks, working there for a little over four months now. I am by no means a coffee snob, and will give you the Bitchface (tm) if anyone suggests that because I work where I work I am too high and mighty go anywhere else for coffee. Dudes, I will go to a gas station and get those push-the-button-cappuchinos (not a real cappuchino, as they supposed to be half foam, half milk... but I digress). I really don't care. I go to work, make the working man's drinky drink, and go home. Don't get me wrong; I love working there. It's so much fun, and I love my coworkers, but, yeah, it's just a job. Yes, I am getting defensive. No, I don't know why. Um. YAY STARBUCKS.
Music is a huge, huuuuuuge part of my life. A smattering of artists that I so deeply love are: Sufjan Stevens, The Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Goldfrapp, Ladytron, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Coldplay, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Josh Groban, Imogen Heap, Scissor Sisters, Patrick Wolf, The Decemberists, Massive Attack, Jeff Hanson, Led Zeppelin, The Faint, The Servant, The Shins, Depeche Mode, Sigur Ros, Spoon, Boards of Canada, Damien Rice... um. Yeah. And etc. I love instrumental soundtracks and probably have more of them than is appropriate.
It seems that when I fall for something, I fall really hard. I was huge huge into the LotR fandom back in the day, though being ages 14-16 at the time didn't really do much for me, heh. Oh God, the fic. Let's not talk about it. And then I finally got suckered into reading Harry Potter after LotR started winding down aaand... became huge huge into that too. And then June 16th of last year I made the most seriously awesome decision ever to check into this whole Supernatural thing that people wouldn't shut up about, and, heh, well. It's funny; while watching the episodes for the first time I was like, "Yay, this is kind of fun," and then, just days after I finished the finale, it was like... I don't know! Some kind of like, explosion in my brain, or something, like, "Wait... that was... I really liked that, didn't I? I mean, really really? ...HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AMAZING." And then it just went downhill from there, or uphill, or whatever. Because I am telling you, I swear I thought I couldn't love something like LotR or HP more, but... damn. Maybe it's just who I am, and what I'm drawn to, characters that are not of the standard, that have thought and depth and are not just chinked off the same cliched block, sibling and family-driven plots that angsts and loves and hurts so good, and just getting it in worst way. I get more emotionally attatched to characters than I mean to, but with the Winchesters, I'm certainly not sorry. Suffice it to say, I love my show more than life.
I'm also in to, but not just as much as mentioned: House MD, The Office (US), Mystery Science Theater 3000 (♥!), Lost, Firefly, Mythbusters, and watching Scrubs when I can.
Uhm, what else. I'm a natural blonde. I have a younger sister. If I could, I'd blow all my money at Urban Outfitters, Fossil, and American Eagle. I am sometimes way too emotional and like to CAPSLOCK and italics more than is healthy, and quite honestly, I loves me some El Jay. So. So! Anyone who's still reading at this point... good for you. Heh.
Ahaha, um, my supposed-to-go-to-an-art-museum-and-write-a-paper-about-it paper is due Monday, and my professor asked questions like, "Stand close to the painting, then far away. Does it look the same, or do you see more or less elements? Is the image clearer?" and etc. And I am like, "...ah. Yes. The brushstrokes. Exquisite. And the color distintions. Fantastic." AHAHA YES I LOVE BS-ING.
Here is a list of interviews that everyone needs to read RIGHT NOW I am for serial. Because there is stuff like, In almost 40 episodes, he [Jared] and I have come at each other one time, and that was just because we were super tired and super strung-out. Immediately following, I went into his trailer, it was squashed, we gave each other a hug and it was done. We’re truly like brothers. I pick on him and he fights back, and omgah guys, OMGAH. ♥ Also, Jared listens to Tool. ALjkfda;lkjdsfaslj that is so fantastic. AND AND he watches The Office and Arrested Development. BWEEE.
Tomorrow I have a day off, and I think a visit to Barnes and Noble to spend my giftcard is in order. Yes.

Woah. I thought I was a little out of it when I first read that because I could have typed the *same exact thing*. That's weird.
What is it with people thinking that majoring in English means you're an automatic shoe-in for becoming a teacher?
Dude, WORD. I'm majoring in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing too, and I'm so tired of people asking if I'm gonna teach. I also have no idea what I'm going to do with my degree, but I'm definitely not teaching.
And YES to falling for things really hard and being huge into the LOTR fandom when I was 14-16. AND, of course, the Supernatural and MST3K.
However, being a Minnesota native, I would gladly change places with you. The cold and snow NEED TO GO AWAY.

Heh, that's a bit farther north than I imagined! I've never seen snow, much less been in weather colder than 20 degrees, so that would be some harsh culture shock for sure.

Well, it's better than people thinking that majoring in English is an automatic shoo-in for becoming unemployed, which is what I got the most of.

And BABE, you saw THIS tidbit too, right? SERIOUSLY. How much are we supposed to love them, because the love? It might kill me if it gets any bigger.

EEEE, YES I DID! Couldn't you just see him all dressed up in a suit and tie in church, all wee and SHY and adorable and I'm serious to God my HEART cannot deal with this and I just want to make flaily hands and high-pitched noises. *Does so!!*
